He is the one that told Abrams.to send his tanks to Bastogne.

Patton was also killed before the end of 1945

Higher survivability as well. It was favored over the T34 for a reason. And the M4 was easy to maintain as well, to change the tranny you just remove the lower glacial and boom. Simple. The M4s were pulled out because they were useless against Tanks like the M48 and M60 Pattons, the...

The T34 was worst in most ways

The ones in the early part were knocked out

I was more saying in fat that they would have been a force worth fighting with, using the knowledge at the time... Knowing what we do now perhaps we could have won.

How much of this did we know about at the time?

It is not that simple, for one, and for two, the US did not know how weak they were! You also have to account for any AA they USSR would have. War is not as simple as you make it out to be. You have to account for US supply lines, how they get things from one place to another so on and so forth...

We had no units that were up to date in the country at all during the war. The newest units were all in the...

He was responsible for us going to the Chinese border. SO proprs there. But yeah!

Truman was the one that kept it on the table, and had them place Nukes in Guam to be used if needed against China. McArthur just wanted to use them, and also push into China and take them out.

It was an option against non nuclear China during the Korea war

But we did not know that at the time, and equipment was their own, I never said they did not rely on our fuel

Not really, the USSR had a very large amount of manpower the US and NATO could not fight reasonably right after the war. France and UK were nearly baren of troops. The US was still hurting, and would have had to keep sending troops over. You forget that by 1945, the USSR had a very large stake...
